2024 in Review

A meager year. Fell off a cliff in terms of productivity, but there was still three major highlights… Senet Rules I did make up rules for Senet. Was interesting to work on/figure out.

July 2024 in Art

Crochet Szarehan

Crochet Szarehan

Just a rough crochet version of a Szarehan. Just figured it out as I went along. Wanted to use up some orange yarn.
